Big congrats to @NLJames_ on publishing his first PhD thesis paper! We observed breeding Noddies on Heron Island foraging an order of magnitude further during periods of low food availability + roosting at the closest vegetated islands ~600 km away. 😲🤯 link.springer.com/article/10…

Thrilled to share my first publication in Scientific Reports!
Our study focused on comparing morphometric responses of two congeneric species, the native Cape and the non-native house sparrows to increased urbanisation in SA.

I will be recruiting two new PhD students to start in Feb 2025, to join a lively social-ecological research team working on protected areas. This is a competitive opportunity that involves applying for internal scholarships; I will support two or three applicants. If interested./

Is suppressing fire in woody savannas to enhance tree biomass and absorb carbo a #naturebasedsolution to climate change? No, it is ecological degradation. New paper in @GlobalChangeBio by Ty Loft and colleagues explains why onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Very excited that Conservation Evidence is one of five major projects within the @ai_cam_mission. We will expand our current collaboration with the Computing Dept to develop novel means of using AI to present evidence to practitioners and decision makers (ai.cam.ac.uk/ai-deas/)

Happy to have this paper out and stoked at the inclusivity of #globalsouth authors! So important for the narrative. This also marks 10 years since the start of my PhD on this topic with @graemecumming at the @Fitztitute.

The new IPCC 6th Assessment Report (AR6) provides an unprecedented degree of clarity about the future of our planet, and the need to reduce – and ultimately eliminate – our emissions of greenhouse gases.
In this thread I take a look at some key findings from the report: 1/27
